Tony, As Rick says use a static variable. Define a variable in the procedure using the STATIC keyword. Any value in that variable will not go away from one call of the procedure to the next call of the procedure. Store the account number in a static variable defined in the procedure for use on the next call to the procedure. Paul -- Paul Morgan Senior Programmer Analyst - Retail J.
